Chapters are relatively self-contained for greater flexibility. New features include expanded treatment of the binomial theorem, techniques of numerical calculation and a section on public key cryptography. Contains an outstanding set of problems; This undergraduate textbook describes the computational aspects of number theory, such as techniques of factoring. Problems of varying difficulty are used throughout the text to aid comprehension UR - http://www.loc.gov/catdir/description/wiley033/90013013.html UR - http://www.loc.gov/catdir/toc/onix04/90013013.html ER -
